How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my experiences, planned out questions before hand that I wanted to ask interviewers.

What impressed you positively?

The new building. Both interviews were simply conversations. No real "questions".

What impressed you negatively?

Lots of waiting around (for next interview, for lunch, etc)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You are graded on 7 subject areas (motivation, knowledge of career, people skills, knoledge of american health care, etc.) and the interviewers rate you on a scale of 1-7 for each subject area. So make sure you hit all the subject areas! (both of my interviewers showed me the sheet beforehand)

What are your general comments?

Easy interviews. Spent the for 3 hours in the morning in "lectures" (video tour of new med. school, dean's speech, fin. aid speech, etc). Then interview, then lunch, then short tour of anatomy labs, then second interview. Lots of waiting around.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
